"We contacted this company to quote us on expanding and replacing our current pool cage. We also wanted a quote to have gutters installed. When the company finally" ...More called back, his response was "I am busy and have enough business in

, I don't need to go down to North Port."
This is probably one of the most unprofessional responses I have ever experienced! We own a company ourselves and would never think of treating a potential customer in this fashion. This business owner had no idea what the size of this project was nor the community that we live in and how much other business he could potentially get. It is unfortunate that he is so short sighted that he would be willing to give up all business in North Port!
Well good luck to all who would risk using a company like this!!!

"I contacted the provider throught Angie's List via emial. They quicky scheduled an estimate and provided a quote for the work to be done. After gaining several" ...More quotes I decided to go with

for the work.

and his crew did the work quickly and were very neat and courteous. I would recommend them for anyone considering screen repair or replacement.

The reason you're having a hard time getting clear information is because there are hundreds of companies saying their window is the best. There are probably millions of different features you can choose to have for your windows and in price ranges from $169-$1200 (per double-hung window).

I've been in the business for 15 years and have seen many different window products from many different dealers and manufacturers. This all comes down to: "what's important for you and your home?" If you want a strong warranty from a company who has a full-time service department to give you piece of mind and service your windows should needs be, or are you looking at only those companies who offer true wood interior windows that you can paint or stain to match the home decor? Whatever is your hot-button, then that's where you want to start.

I would recommend you first choose how you want your new windows to look. Wood-interior with vinyl clad is only offered by certain companies, while there is a vinyl woodgrain finish to give you similar results without the maintenance. If you're only looking for a white interior and don't want the maintenance, a fiberglass or vinyl window would be the best choice from what is offered in the market today (vinyl will be less expensive - not necessarily cheaper quality). If you are going to change out a window to a french door and a door to a window, then you WILL NEED to find a contractor with some carpentry experience. Some companies will tell you upfront that they do not handle those sorts of remodeling projects due to the complexity and time it would take to get it complete.

Unfortunately, we won't be able to personally help you with your project as we work in the New England Area. However, if you wish to talk further, please feel free to email me at: sven@ritewindow.com and I'll be happy to let you know our prices for what we offer so you can compare and hopefully find a similar company to do the work for you near the Austin area.

For a broken window (or leaking seal in multi-pane unit), for a standard roughly 2x3 foot window, can run from low of about $75-125 for single pane to more like $200-300 range for triple pane, depending on construction and any special ultraviolet or heat reflective coatings. If a removeable window unit, of course cheaper to remove it and take to replacement glass place then have them come out, measure glass size, order glass unit, then come back to install.

If taking in yourself, commonly they can do single-pane in an hour or two, but count on a week or so typically for sealed double or triple pane unit to come in, so you will have to seal the opening in the interim. That is an advantage of having them come out - they measure and determine type of unit on first visit and can seal with tape and plastic sheeting (if you have not already done that), then come back with new unit and install a week or two down the road - but you are not stuck with an opening in the wall for a long time.

If you are being sued and/or counter suing, then you should hire a lawyer. While you can do small claims court and sue without a lawyer, the Contractor's insurance will provide him a lawyer to defeat you. Plus, odds are good the Contractor has more court experience than the average Home Owner, especially if this is his standard opperating procedure. If you go against a lawyer, you will lose, even if you are right (Saying the right thing at the wrong time is very bad in court rooms. Get a lawyer who knows the processes).

Once you decide you are suing, there should be no further contact or access to the property with the contractor. If you have already been told you are suing, you should stop all access to your property (you are allowing them to gather evidence AGAINST you. Your lawyer may be able to reach an agreement outside of court to allow the contractor to fix the work within a specific time period, but even then make sure you are not in contact with the contractor. Anything you say, will be turned against you ("The Home Owner said it was okay.")

A building official has no legal obligation in court; his job is safety and minimum construction requirements as allowed per Code. He has no say over materials and methods, and cannot assess damage. (IRC doesn't have a requirement that the door you mention exceed 35", so he won't care it isn't 36" as an example). What he CAN do is state if the work is unsafe or causing other conditions which are unsafe. Let your lawyer decide; but it is not in your best interest to have the Building Offical inspect with the contractor.

To sue you need to show damages. Get another contractor (get some references or hire an architect to help ensure you get what you need) to inspect the work and give an estimate to repair. The amount the contractor(s) estimates becomes what you seek in court (plus court fees) from the contractor. If his work caused problems, you should be suing, not sued.

Also, be aware that no door manufacturer makes an actual 36" door (as an example). They each have their own frame sizes, so a "36 door" in reality will be 35 7/8" to 35 3/8". Each door maker has slightly different sizes (go online, you can see Pella, Anderson, Kolbe-Kolbe, etc. have their actual sizes available for PDF downloads). If you replace a Pella 36" with an Anderson's 36" they won't fit perfectly. In fact, the different styles within the same manufacturer are sometimes even different. The purpose of trim is to hide the gap between the wall and door frame, so your door may be perfectly fine in size and method of installation.

When you have this work corrected (and for any future work) utilize the services of a lisenced Architect. They will oversee the work, review requests for payments and document existing conditions and conditions found during construction to prevent the situation you are now in. They will also ensure the proper permits are filed and the inspections called for. Because they are a third party to the agreement, they can be the 'bad guy' and make the contractor perform, where you just have to pay the invoices they approve. The contractor deals with the Architect (and vice versa) and you get the project you wanted. The cost of the architect would have been around $3,200 and is minimal compared to what you are dealing with now, the peace of mind is worth it and architects often find cost savings that go directly back to the Home Owner. When you account for time alone, you will have spent more than this on just preparing and attending the court case.

Because this is headed to court, stop all communication with the contractor and get yourself counsel. Good luck.

I have a small front porch and wanted it enclosed so my cats could sit out there.

came and measured and questioned me about my wishes and

up a plan which I liked.
I wanted a special order screen door, so we had to wait for it to arrive (which was less than a week).
The installers arrived yesterday about ...More 1:00 p.m. and went directly to work. There was a lot of framework to put up but they went right to work. The guys are both personable and professional, as well as hard workers.
I advised them that I had to leave for a few hours and they said it would be done when I got back.
I have used this company before and know of their excellent work ethic as well as their personal ethics....so I had no problem leaving them here to finish up.
When I arrived home, the framing was up, the door hung and all the screening in place. I immediately received calls from neighbors telling me how wonderful it looks.
The cats LOVE IT and they can now watch the world from the front of the house, in addition to the screened pool deck in the back.
I recommend

I unexpectedly needed to remove a lanai support and two sections of screen to get a large piece of an aluminum structure into my lanai. I called 3 rescreeners and most had 2-3 week lead time. I explained my problem to

and they were able to send over a crew on their way home that afternoon. They were in and out in very short ...More order and they even re-secured a loose screen flap on the top of the Ianai at no additional cost. I will definitely call

next time I need to have screen repairs completed. ”

Since the screen doors were too large to drop off in our car,

's came out and picked up the screens at exactly the time they said they'd be at our house. Turn around time for the repairs was just two days, and they delivered at the time they said. The work was excellent.”

The day scheduled was very cold. He called the day before and told me that, while they were scheduled to come at 8:30am, it would be too cold for them to unroll the screen properly and pull it tight, so they would come at 10:30 and hope for warmer temperatures. They arrived on time and luckily the screen area was in full sunlight and warming up, so ...More they went right to work. I pointed out two screens that I had requested be replaced but which he hadn't figured into the job, so we agreed on the additional cost for those screens, $30. They alos replaced the door openers and latches on my two swinging screen doors.
The crew was very quick and professional. They did a good job. I got a paid bill receipt and they left. No
